i use my pancake home-despot portable compressor with no issues, though
it's unable to "keep up" with bodywork tools like sanders or heavy
painting..

For Christmas I received a craftsman 10 piece air tool said to be used on
my Westy Vanagon 2.1 engine. I just opened it up and read the directions
and it suggesting that I need an intricate plumbing set up for an air
compressor. do I really need to do this or can I use my one and a half
horsepower compressor that I use for all my nail guns and construction. I
was hoping to use the air tool impact wrench rotate my tires on my van
Agone that would've been a plus but now I don't know how to plumb this up
if I have to.
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated thanks
